life beautiful art
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.
healing color vibrations
Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music; everything is vibration.
art ends artist
Great art picks up where nature ends.
love emotion interest
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
moving hope-and-love ends
If all life moves inevitably towards its end, then we must, during our own, colour it with our colours of love and hope.
art roots russia
The most authentic Russian Impressionism leaves one perplexed if one compares it with Monet and Pissarro. Here, in the Louvre, before the canvases of Manet, Millet and others, I understood why my alliance with Russia and Russian art did not take root.
art flower men
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.
art believe color
You cannot explain me with "isms." They are very bad for an artist. What one must believe in is color.
heart artist doe
If I create with my heart almost all my intentions remain. If it is with the head - almost nothing. An artist must not fear to be himself, to express only himself. If he is absolutely and entirely sincere, what he says and does will be acceptable to others.
art keys people
Changes in societal structure and in art would possess more credibility if they had their origins in the soul and spirit. If people read the words of the prophets with closer attention, they would find the keys to life.
art teaching blood
In spite of everything, there is still no more wonderful vocation than to continue to tolerate events and to work on in the name of our mission, in the name of that spirit which lives on in our teaching and in our vision of humanity and art, the spirit which can lead us Jews down the true and just path. But along the way, peoples will spill our blood, and that of others.
mother elbows want
One fine day as my mother was putting the bread in the oven, I went up to her and taking her by her flour-smeared elbow I said to her, Mama I want to be a painter.
art soul states
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
art
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
